What the page says
_Curator's reading of the capture._
Libertatea (Romanian), 22 October: what the critical PHP flaw hitting 70% of the world's sites is and why WordPress platforms are exposed to mass attacks. It says the security firm Hadrian named the two flaws 'PHP2Shell', that per the PHP Foundation the vulnerable code is in critical parts of the language (memory management and error handling), and, citing Amazon Threat Intelligence, that an exploitation attempt was detected as early as 18 October, four days before the official announcement; Amazon's own date elsewhere in the vault is 17 October.
> Potrivit Amazon Threat Intelligence, o tentativă de exploatare PHP2Shell a fost detectată încă din 18 octombrie, cu patru zile înainte de anunțul oficial.
_Curator's translation:_ "According to Amazon Threat Intelligence, a PHP2Shell exploitation attempt was detected as early as 18 October, four days before the official announcement."
_The watch reader's summary (researcher@php.newsroom, of its snapshot 20261022T181608Z, not necessarily this one):_ Libertatea returned 429 Too Many Requests.
